Did Copper For The Old World’s ‘Bronze Age’ Come From Mines In The New World?

November 3, 2019 By CFT Team -- 6 Comments

Artifacts from the Bronze Age continue to be discovered by archeologists all over Europe and the Near East, but what is rarely discussed is where the massive amount of copper required to make all those artifacts came from —  considering the known small-scale copper mines in England, continental Europe, and the Near East simply cannot account for it all.

Dr. Barry Fell, in his book Bronze Age America, provided credible evidence that a major source of the required copper can be found in North America, but because it doesn’t conform to the dogmatic paradigm of Christopher Columbus as being the first European on North American soil, mainstream archeologists still refuse to recognize such a possibility.

Barry Fell (born Howard Barraclough Fell) (June 6, 1917 – April 21, 1994) was a professor of invertebrate zoology at the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology, but he is best known for his work in New World epigraphy, arguing that various inscriptions in the Americas are best explained by extensive pre-Columbian contact with Old World civilizations.

Fell was born in England — but raised in New Zealand — and received his PhD at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. He emigrated to the U.S. and continued his research at Harvard University.

In the video lecture below, Dr. Fell explains how some of  the copper necessary to make the tools of the Bronze Age in Europe could indeed have come from mines in North America:

In this meeting, I’d like to talk about my book, “Bronze Age America.” It deals with the voyage made by a Scandinavian king, we think, about….1,700 years before Christ, from Scandinavia to the Saint Lawrence river way, to a point somewhere near where Toronto now stands. And there he established a trading settlement at now what is called Peterborough in Ontario. He brought cloth, apparently, from Europe to trade with the Algonquin Indians, and from them he obtained copper ingots….

They originated in the copper peninsula on the shores of Lake Superior. And we know they were mined by the Algonquins four to five thousand years ago. There are about five thousand vacant copper mines now left on the Copper Peninsula, and millions of pounds were removed from them by the Indians. And nobody could figure out where they’d gone.

The professors at the Michigan School of Mines produced this book about these ancient copper mines and speculated that perhaps Egyptians had come and taken the copper away. The archeologists had nothing to say about the matter. Not very much copper is found in the remains of the Indians of that period. The mounds don’t contain very much copper.

What happened to the millions of pounds of copper that were taken out at that time, carbon-dated, as I said, to two to three thousand B.C. We think that finds at the site in Peterborough give the explanation. They were obtained by visitors from abroad, from Scandinavia, and the copper was taken to Europe, and from there converted to the Bronze Age tools of that period.

Of course, this raises the question that if the Indians showed no use for copper themselves, why would they know to mine it in the first place?

As Steven Collins has pointed out, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that the ancient Israelite Phoenicians were the first to develop the massive copper mines on the shores of Lake Superior in about 2,000 B.C., and they may have used the local Indians as labor for the mines.  These could indeed be part of legendary “King Solomon’s Mines”.

The Indians who later traded copper ingots with the Scandinavians, as Dr. Fell describes, would have known about the source from their own history of contact with the ancient Phoenicians.

Prior to contact with the White Man, Indians showed little knowledge of metallurgy, and many speculate that what knowledge they did have was acquired from contact with the White Man.  It is hard to believe that the “native” Indians alone emptied over 5,000 copper mines and left no trace of that metal anywhere in North America.

    There were no “Vikings” in 1700BC.

    So let me get this straight: the Indians traded copper ingots for cloth with the Scandinavians, meaning that at that point, Indians still didn’t know how to weave their own cloth, but somehow knew how to smelt copper? Highly unlikely. The Indians found those ingots in the old Phoenician copper mines and traded them with the Scandinavians–that’s the only explanation that makes any sense. Archeologists give Indians way too much credit for being a lot more advanced than they really were. They were called “savages” for very good reason.

    yep – precisely correct, author. this is actually reasonably well documented and logical, but hidden, as it doesnt fit the narrative.
    thanx for articles like this!

    As soon as the professor mentioned about the Algonquins mining the copper, that was my first thought – that they were conscripted by ancient white men who recognized what the copper was. That understanding is seemingly cemented by the fact that the copper was not a staple of Algonquin culture.

    If it is a known fact that there were not enough copper mines to support the Bronze Age of the Old World, it had to come from somewhere…
